To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

As a result, the population, with each arriving contingent of immigrants, became more and more compact and congested. As each increment in the census registered an inexorable in- crease in land values, a greater number of persons were obliged to inhabit practically the same area. Houses were consequently huddled together, most compactly. Every available inch was built upon. Space was left for neither light nor ventilation. Room congestion of the most dire and ominous kind accompany house conges...tion. Dwellings which might have housed one family decently now contained as many families as rooms — and more.
Neither age nor sex was respected. Each sex lived and slept promiscuously with the other irrespective of filial or marital relationship. These houses were built upon narrow and dark courts with only one end open. With approaching dilapidation these overcrowded structures became so plagueful as to endanger the very existence of the cities. By the seventh and eighth decades of the nineteenth century these unsanitary areas, inhabited by the working classes, had appalling death rates.
